“I feel ashamed of this now, as I know this wasn’t the right response. I was in a terrible relationship for three years with an abusive arse and I ignored so many red flags it was my own fault. I was 13-16 in this relationship and I wasn’t ready for sex. He was two years older and kept pushing the issue. At the end, I found out he had been cheating on me for three months with a mutual ‘friend.’ We were in a big group of friends and one night we had all met up and she was pissed that he wouldn’t leave me and she told me with a sneer in front of everyone. All those times I met up with them they were laughing behind my back. I thank her for it now, but back then, at 16, I lost it. Long story short, I broke his goddamn nose.”
